OOOOHH MAAAH GAWWD i already watched the chinese ver. but i really wanted japanese ver. too but chinese is not bad. Finally im being hyped again cuz i just got depression in YOI that ended today T_T UWAAAH MY HEART IS HAPPY but STILL 2017!!!!!

OK , i think m gonna die ,(cant bare this upcoming happiness) though m bit worried about Voice line up,
once you get use to the real version I don't think the dubbed will have much chance of beating the original,
"Sakurai, Takahiro" V.A of "MISAKI" might be a good choice for "Yang Jinghua" ,AND why the hell they keep changing the name !!!! I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THEY CHANGED HIS NAME Yang Jinghua TO Keika,
IT WILL BE WATCHING ANOTHER ANIME WITH DIFFERENT PROTAGONIST!!!
his name is "Jinghua" "Jinghua" "Jinghua" not "Keika" TT.TT
AND its "Duanmu Xi" not "Ki" TT.TT

the ONA are different from the manhua tho, I just hope the japanese version are faithfully follow the original story. and also the ONA ending is just a mess I think.

I know nothing about it. The art style isn't really my type, but... it's nice to see a BL series, as always. I'll def give it a shot.

Dec 17, 2016 9:39 AM by Claptrap

Oh, more BL. I watch anything BL so I will be there. I'm interesting to see how an artist from China may write out a BL.

So it will be animated as the ONA but in Japanese version or what?

I'm really excited to have another BL anime announcement.
Lots of yuri and yaoi announcements lately, it's a good year.

Woah I just saw a Monochrome factor re-animated... that's seem so similar to me...

I've never heard of this webcomic, but I'm always open to more BL anime and the story sounds interesting. ^^ Two BL anime in one season, bLESS. And oml, I could listen to that music all day, it sounds beautiful!!

Dec 17, 2016 3:24 AM by lorraxne

I love this! Music, animation and story are great, and it has a white haired character!!! I can't wait for this!

Yep, that's what what I'm wondering : I just hope It's not the same as Yi Ren Zhi Xia (i.e Hitori no Shita The Outcast) where they will just dub it, change the names and wrap the 20 eps into 10-12 full-length ones. Tho I suppose this is what's going to happen - I mean announcing it just 20 days ahead and a PV that doesn't show anything new. But we'll see in one month :)

Tencent Animation & Haoliners have some really good anime and manhua like Huyao Xiao Hongniang, Shuangsheng Lingtan & Reikenzan. What is sad is that mostly all Chinese ones are underrated and not given enough credit T_T (not to mention that manhua is full color and so beautiful). Even tho I'd love for them to be more popular I just prefer to be left alone with the original language and names. Not in a bad way, but just be given credit despite their original language...

MORE BL!!!!!!! The Chinese trailer music startled me for a sec XDD But it sounds really beautiful and calm :D I can't wait to watch it!

Dec 16, 2016 11:44 PM by Ritsu

Good for BL fans! Plus it's fantasy! Nice.

PS: I'm pretty sure it has more that 145 chapters since I've read up to 157

Oops,

Also, I'm not sure if the Japan TV version will air the same ONA content, though.

YES! BL anime is all i need.
Is a Japanese remake of Ling Qi? I will watch both Ling Qi (Chinese version) and this Japanese version ^^

More BL is always GREAT! Hey, if this Chinese web comic can get an anime how about 19 days? If that got an anime I'd be over the moon!

SURE! We need 19 Days \o/
